[QUOTE=atpwannabe;1071765]For some, as with previous comments posted, it worked out for them. I'm happy for you; for others, it didn't.
There's really no telling what the circumstances or issues were that caused a borrower to default. Bailout for student loans....I dunno! Maybe. Hell, nations and big businesses are being "given a leg up". Why not those with student loans? They could forgive some or all of the interest and rework a payment schedule for the principal or principal + whatever interest they rework. It's a complicated, controversial, and divisive issue.
Sometimes, you just gotta cut your losses and move on. JMO.
So punish those of us who worked their thru college and flight training or as the other poster said and paid back their loans? You borrowed money so you pay it back it is as simple as that, remember the buyout money would have to come from the tax payers. Nobody held a gun to your head and made you take the money.
